To learn more about Hyper-V VM load balancing see the documentation here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/...

Hyper-V VM load balancing can be configured via PowerShell or with a couple of clicks in Windows Admin Center.

Hyper-V VM load balancing evaluates a machine's load based on the following heuristics: • Current memory pressure: Memory is the most common resource constraint on a Hyper-V host. • CPU utilization averaged over a five-minute window: Mitigates any machine in the system from becoming over-committed.

Hyper-V VM load balancing identifies over-committed machines and live migrates VMs from those machines to under-committed machines. Failure policies such as anti-affinity, fault domains (sites), and possible owners are honored.

ANNOUNCEMENT: HYPER-V VM LOAD BALANCING... Folks, Hyper-V has offered built-in VM Load Balancing for over a decade. VM load balancing is a feature that allows you to optimize machine utilization in Windows Server clusters.
